How to "Bundle Binding"

What is Bundle Binding?

Bundle binding allows you to group several product together and sell them as a single unit.

'Bundle binding' links your existing Shopify variant options to the 3D configurator customization options. This allows you to automatically apply custom pricing without manually setting it up. Moreover, it also offers a solution to Shopify's variant limit. How so? Shopify allows up to 3 options per product, for a max total of 100 variants each. Bundle binding combines different Shopify products, and their relative variant options, into one product. In other words:

• Only one (1) 3D model of your product is required.

• Multiple product components are set as individual Shopify products, each with their own variant options.

• Only one (1) 3D configurator is displayed to your clients on the storefront.

• Countless variants with customized pricing are now available to your business!

Bundle binding is highly convenient if your product has multiple customizable components!

Shopify Set Up

To start, let's "divide" your product into components: the main/primary product and its accessories or secondary products.

Primary Product Set Up

Make sure the main product is all set on Shopify's 'Products' page, with its variant options and the 3D model uploaded under the 'Media' section. → How to upload your 3D model to Shopify

Secondary Product Up

Create individual Shopify products for each customizable component you want to add to the main product, making sure to set up their Shopify variant options. No 3D model is required.

App Set Up

'Bindable' VS 'Non-Bindable' A little icon on the left corner of all customization options displays their connection (), or lack thereof (), to any Shopify variant. Check this icon at anytime to verify the binding status of a customization option!

To bundle-bind customization options to Shopify variants, simply follow the steps below:

1. Open the customizer's settings, and set the 'Binding' type to 'Bundle'.
2. If you have already set up your customizer, select 'Edit' on the relevant customization option. Otherwise, if you are just starting to set up your 3D configurator, select 'Add a customization option'.
3. Enable the 'Bindable' setting.

4. Under 'Bundle binding', assign the 'Bundle product' and 'Variant option'. The listed options represent the variants set on Shopify.

5. Now, let's bind the customization options to Shopify's variants. If you're creating the customization option for the first time, select 'Generate pre-filled options from variant option [Blank]'. This feature automatically applies all Shopify variant options to the customizer. You will only need to adjust each variant option value so that it affects the 3D model (e.g.: assigning texture, hiding components, etc.). → How to set up customization options Otherwise, if you're modifying an existing customization option, manually assign each 'Variant option value'. The listed options represent the variants set on Shopify.
6. You can further customize your binding by opening the customizer's settingsand selecting the 'Binding' section. Here, you can modify: • 'Color Tags' You will notice that Angle 3D Configurator automatically assigns color tags to both the primary and secondary products. This will greatly help when editing or setting up new customization options. • 'Optional in Cart' The app allows you to set a secondary product as optional in the cart. In other words, your clients would still be able to complete their purchase in the instance of one of the secondary products being out of stock or unavailable.
